Gajim - 2025-02-01

> snowstorm: that's not possible at the moment 👍 ↺

When selecting messages, I would like to be able to select all of them at once by using keyboard, not mouse, is it possible?

I wish to export chat group history, how to do that?

Next gajim version allows to export history per chat

Okay

Debian are changing the apt sources.list.d format from .list to .sources I have converted all my files which appear to be working OK but the last Debian nightly looks to be the 24th Jan, it that the last one or have I made a mistake with the conversion

Regarding spellchecking in current master version, it seems the list of corrections for a word is only shown when doing a left click on the word first before opening the context menu with a right click (tested with a flatpak build). With right click only there is either no list or the list of the previous by a left click selected word. Can someone confirm the behavior?

hannibal, it looks like it takes the word closest to the cursor. I'll have to check

yes, can confirm. placing the cursor where the click happened resolves this issue. I'll open a MR :)

https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/merge_requests/1120

why do we need to do this? ✏

seems like this should be a standard functionality of the textview

or better of the spelling lib

i can find no other application or editor that places the cursor on secondary click

gnome-text-editor does

https://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/#Spelling-1/classes/TextBufferAdapter.html#Spelling.TextBufferAdapter.update_corrections seems like Spelling always looks at the cursor position

here is the related upstream issue https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libspelling/-/issues/5

good find

yeah this is idiotic, this worked before, now they rewritten the lib, now suddenly basic functionality of any text editor does not work anymore

but anyway, i just tried open office, it does something similiar, seems its not so obvious as i thought

I see no other option

but i bet in 2 months someone tells us how this secondary click breaks something different

why do you stop the event after we handle it?

would that not abort showing the popup

it did not for me, that's why I left it as is

but that line has no intention

then lets remove it, we dont know what and when other code will wait for that event

I'll do that in a minute

or not remove that would be the same as now, rather return PROPAGATE

Hi, I recently switched from Windows to Linux Mint. The Gajim version available through apt by default (1.8.4) lacks the reactions feature, which I really enjoyed. Is it possible to install an updated version (with reactions) without using flatpak or building from source?

Can one of the devs confirm that the last Debian nightly was 24th Jan thanks

no (if you want keep Mint) ✏

no (if you want to keep Mint) ✏

corey, either finding the Mint package maintainer or using Flatpak

or switching distro

> no (if you want to keep Mint) Ah, OK - will probably stay on mint for now, as the migration from Windows took a bit of work. I don't think I'm ready to replace the OS. ✏

> corey, either finding the Mint package maintainer or using Flatpak Gotcha, thanks!

corey, whats your problem with flatpak. comming from Windows this should be very much like the ms app store

titan_, i cannot confirm that

Slowly but surely we're getting there

How to i check like Tor address like use Gajim with tor etc? like where is the settings for it?

What i meant was. if i want to use Gajim with Tor. Do i need to enter like e.g port 9050 and use the tor address for whatever its after jaxx@ ? or that cant be done on gajim?

settings -> advanced -> global proxy -> Tor ✏

jaxx, you need to use the JID that is registered on the server

and no you cannot use some hidden domain, it must be a clearnet domain

but you *can* connect through a tor proxy if you install and enable the tor daemon/service on your system with a little modification of your torrc as needed, jaxx

It is what i do. I run a vm in openbsd's vmm(4) and all it does is host tor (i dont trust the network, but i want to circumvent some firewall port restrictions). i then use openbsd's relayd to relay port 9050 from the vm to localhost so i don't need to modify default tor configs on many applications. just connects to localhost:9050, and bob's your uncle.

my email client is routed the same way as some public networks i use only allow http/s and nothing else. not even icmp pings.

i reccomend using obfs4 bridging too if you can if you have port restrictions.

the default torrc is fairly easy to understand if you read the comments

what Kris said is where you'd configure gajim to use the proxy.

hmm, no i think i gave the wrong info, Gajim should pass any onion address to the proxy

so in theory it should work

the problem why this still doesnt work is probably, because Gajim still establishes a TLS connection, and most onion servers will see no need for TLS and not support it
